Summary: The
primary goal of the Educational Technology State Grants Program is to improve
student academic achievement through the use of technology in elementary
and secondary schools. It is also designed to assist every student in becoming
technologically literate by the end of the eighth grade and to encourage
the effective integration of technology resources and systems with teacher
training and professional development to establish research-based instructional
models. The program targets funds primarily to school districts that serve
concentrations of poor students.
